Couldn’t think of an alliteration and the kids were early. How are you girls today?

Morning. Dd was up at 5, ds at 5.30. His pull-up wasn’t on correctly, so he was completely soaked, poor boy. School run, groceries, cleaning, apparently my washer is broken because my laundry room just flooded 😖😖😖. I just made myself coffee, so I’m going to drink that first and then clean up the mess and pick up ds. Hope all the sick kiddos are doing better today!

Morning! MH is home sick today so it'll be a job keeping C away from him so he can rest. I don't want to take the kids many places since L isn't 100%. Thinking lots of painting, cookie making and snow playing maybe.

Charlie got up at 6:15, and Josie is just starting to stir now. She doesn't have school this week, so I need to try to find activities to keep them busy. It's tougher with this cold weather.

C and I fought last night about something stupid. He does this almost every year. He says something just before my birthday that upsets me and then I don't want to do anything.

I don't want to do anything with paper anymore. I want to read on my phone and take notes on my phone, but when I get really busy -- usually right before any holiday-- I take all of the information I have on my phone and in my head, and write it on a piece of paper. And usually it's a piece of plain computer paper and i write it with a marker. I have all of these leftover odds and ends to do, and it was all in my phone, but because it's now on one piece of paper, it feel so much more manageable.

In happier news I find out around 1100 today if I won't the Ham for Ham Hamilton tickets for tomorrow. If I win I only have to pay $20 for two tickets. That would make me so happy.

Sorry for the mess nam2013. I hope you win chrisy01. Also, sorry about the fight. guster. I always feel better when I write to do lists on paper. It helps me take tasks one thing at a time.

Morning.
C’s temp is normal but she’s just out-of-sorts this morning. I’m putting her down for a nap now. We have an appointment with the orthopedist first thing Wednesday morning so just have to make it til then.
No big plans today; weather is nice so maybe we’ll get out for a walk or something.

Morning! My family could use some good thoughts right now. My cousin’s 9 month old boy is in the PICU at the Childrens Hospital. He has blood in his stool and is passing blood clots. They gave him a blood transfusion and are working on trying to figure out what’s going on by doing a scope, X-ray, and ultrasound.

Good morning. I got amazing news re. The kids’ DC. Even if mh switches employers (which he did accept the offer), we can stay at the current DC. I’m so happy! I was legit losing sleep over this.

I also sometimes enjoy my paper list guster. During Nov and Dec, I carry a little notebook in my purse bc I need to write down the bazillion things I have to do for the kids’ bdays, holidays and Xmas shopping. Sometimes you just need to see it all laid out that way vs spread across apps on a phone.

I've never used Shutterfly, but I had a gift card for it, so I thought what the heck? Prints, a magnet, and two canvas prints and I am so frustrated I want to tear my eyeballs out. Is it usually this annoying?

guster I've never used Shutterfly either, and I get coupons/freebies all the time. I typically have a good experience with Tiny Prints (that's who did my cards this year) so I hope they don't go the way of Shutterfly now that they've merged! lfig So sorry to hear about your nephew, I hope they can figure out what's going on quickly. +853873452 to a paper list. We keep one on the fridge for groceries. I'm old-school, I also keep a paper calendar.

nam2013 That sucks about your washer, hopefully the mess isn't too big and it's an easy fix. lfig Sending good thoughts to your family. Poor little guy, I hope they get answers soon! That's great news about DC yummeecookee! I get so much anxiety thinking about switching day cares. guster I haven't used Shutterfly, but I feel like all the websites that you can design photo things on are equally annoying. It shouldn't be that damn hard! H is back at work today. I don't know which of us was more excited!

We went swimming yesterday afternoon and it was awesome. B is getting so big and loves the pool, it’s time for lessons. I’ve also missed being in the pool, so I’m going to see if there is lane swim open while he’s doing lessons.

+1 to paper lists, but I'm trying to use Microsoft note at work for notes bc my co-workers that use it seem much more organized than me.
I think we give N too much milk on the weekends, she was screaming at 4, 5, and 6 this morning and finally had some gas and settled down. I feel awful.
